RedMax/ZENOAH has a policy of continu- ous product development and therefore reserves the right to modify the design and appearance of products without prior notice. Long--term exposure to noise can result in permanent hearing impairment. Always use approved hearing protection. This operator’s manual describes in detail how to use and service the blower and how to carry out regular maintenance. It also describes which measures should be taken to achieve maximum safety while operating the blower, how the safety de- vices work and how they should be ser- viced.

Note! The section of the manual that deals with safety, must be read and understood by all persons who come in contact with the blower.

This operator’s manual has been written for those who need guidance when it comes to fault tracing, thorough servicing and carrying out corrective maintenance of the blower.

There are warning symbols on the blower. Should any of the warning symbols on the blower become disfigured or worn, new ones should be ordered and fitted to the blower as soon as possible. Note that some of the warning symbols may be molded in certain components of the blower.

The blower is used for blowing away leaves and other debris on the ground. When op- erating the blower, the operator must stand with both feet firmly on the ground.

The Emissions Compliance Period referred to on the Emissions Compliance label indi- cates the number of operating hours for which the engine has been shown to meet Federal emissions requirements. Category C = 50 hours, B= 125 hours, and A = 300 hours.
